If they (Layton) took north of Mutton Hollow were (Kaysville officials) said we dont want part of Mutton Hollow Road in one city and part in another, Mr. Cammack said.

He said any issues over the parcel and annexation of that of part Mutton Hollow Road probably can be ironed out with Layton officials without petitioning the county boundary commission for a hearing. Mutton Hollow has been the subject of study by the county re already in some parts of Mutton Hollow, Mr. Cammack said.

Many area residents have spoken lots vs. more dense for one-acr- e development. We have zoning for one acre lots, Mr. Cammack said. There would be no problem with that if its requested, he continued.

He recounted the library success story where $125,000 worth of ground was donated. That was augmented by $29,000 from another donor and $5,000 from a third philanthropist. Our plans always have been that once we got a nice city hall we would enlarge the library, Mayor Purdy said. I dont know how long the new one will be able to serve the communtys needs. You could hardly find standing room the first week it seemed like all the books were checked out, he said after the Feb. 16 opening. He urged Jaycees to visit the Gallery Room nearing completion. Located in the southwest part of the library it will include a permanent LeConte Stewart collection. Its hoped 20 paintings can be obtained, he said, with feelers out from Layton to New York City to South America, where some of the paintings are located.

He has designed much of the LDS Church Museums facilities in Salt, Lake City. lt was really a project, Mayor Purdy said recalling the Main-2n- d North construction project. The street widening, curb and gutter and related work have changed the citys look, he admitted. It was inevitable that it had to be done, he said, noting the desire for changes not to occur from the old days that are still necessary. Twenty to thirty upright maples are being planted along the north end of 2nd North, meanwhile. It will be beautiful it will replace some we lost in the construction, the mayor continued.

Those funds will be placed in an escrow account. The bonds would mature in 20 years. Supt.

Currently there are 250 Utah stu dents enrolled at Clearfield. Mr. Quinby expects that to double by next year as more local young people and school counselors become aware of the excellent outreach programs offered at the Job Corp. Mr. Quinby noted most of the students at Job Corp are socially and culturally deprived. Gaining proper social skills along with discipline, consistency and a sense of pride in themselves are more important to the student's success than academics and trade-vocation- al skills, he stated. The most important thing we do is to teach them to get along with each other. The educational system used at the Job Corp is competency-based- . This means an individual can go at his own speed. Students can advance rapidly and there are controls and counseling helps to insure a student is progressing at a satisfactory level. Mr. Quinby stressed Job Corp is not equipped to handle physically or mentally handicapped students. Some of the unique features of the Job Corp include English as a second language program, self government in the dormitories, a student government association, and advanced career training for those with at least six months at the center. This enables interested and capable students to attend Weber State College and vocational nical schools. The Job Corp holds monthly graduation programs. The placement rate for those completing the program at Clearfield is 92 percent. There are 106 Job Corp centers nationwide, with Clearfield ranked third in population. 5,000 eggs to go during hunt KAYSVILLE The Kaysville Jaycees will be sponsoring the annual Easter Egg hunt Saturday, April 19, at 10 a.m. The hunt will take place at Happy Hollow just south of the Kaysville Cemetery off 5th East.
